Noah Heringman

Noah Heringman teaches courses on the Romantic period and on poetry, aesthetic theory, and the cultural history of science. He has published Romantic Rocks, Aesthetic Geology (Cornell University Press, 2004), a study of the relationship between British Romanticism and early earth science. Heringman has also published an edited collection, Romantic Science: The Literary Forms of Natural History (SUNY Press, 2003), featuring essays by several distinguished scholars in the field. His articles and chapters have appeared in SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Studies in Romanticism, The Huntington Library Quarterly, and other journals and collections. He is currently at work on a study of the relationship between writing and fieldwork in the new disciplines emerging from eighteenth-century antiquarianism and natural history.
